I'm shooting in the dark with this so hopefully someone who actually knows what they are doing will be able to help.
I'd like to make a 1 gallon SMaSH and I thought for my first one I would try using MO and EKG.
These figures are semi-random but I came up with this :
1kg MO pale
8g EKG pellets @ 60 minutes
4g EKG pellets @ 30 minutes
4g EKG pellets @ 15 minutes
teeny bit of Irish Moss @ 15 minutes
4g EKG @ 0 minutes
S-04 yeast
That would be a 60 minute boil using 2.3 litres of water in the mash and 3.8 litres of water to sparge.
I used a couple of online calculators that seemed to suggest this would give an end result that fit into some acceptable range (apart from SRM) but I've obviously no real idea.
Would this be OK or can someone suggest a recipe that will work? I'm open to changing every single aspect of the ingredients and process!
Also how much yeast would you use in a 1 gallon recipe in general or does it vary depending on the malt used?
Cheers
